Decent movie, with excellent visual effects, good acting and a good humorous story. Only bad thing about the movie is that end really resembles to Rocky movie, only robot version.

This is a good film, not a great film but very good08 July 2013

This is a good film, not a great film but very good. Although not sentiment, the director manages to bring him to life with good camera angles and subtle sounds. You really start to feel for the robot and you manage to forget the fights aren't real.

Good family entertaintment20 January 2013

Please don't be put off by the "boxing" theme. It is a really good feel good factor family film. One of the better Father and Son relationship films. This time the young Actor steals the film from Hugh Jackman and could have a great future ahead of him

Slow, OK15 September 2012

It's an ok film. Interesting idea, some human interest, not a bad story. However, it is slow and predictable.

Not as good the second time...04 September 2012

The first time I saw it I was like: AWESOME!!!
Then I re-saw it, and this film is truly one of the weakest I have seen in a while. If it featured a lesser budget and smaller actors, this one would be a total disaster! The acting is good, the directing very basic, the robots are pretty cool. But...

This movie has all you want, from action to the growing relationship between father and son, to scifi technology. Well told... a high quality movie definitely worth watching with the family.
